What to plan before the snap
You have 2 timeouts. Decide whether to spend one after an inbounds finish or keep it for a later play.
The opening kick is modeled at 55 yards. A made field goal takes the lead; a miss ends the possession. Compare the kick with using another down.
Thinking time does not drain the game clock. The simulation charges setup and live-play time when you submit a call.
History and your drive
The source identifies the historical starting state. Every play after you take over is a simulated branch. Play both offense and defense through the final whistle, including opponent replies and overtime when regulation ends tied.
- Historical 2024 regulation snapshot; continuation uses the published current-game model, including its overtime and kickoff assumptions.
- Weekly historical rosters and pregame production summaries inform game modifiers; formation roles do not assert the exact original lineup.
- Tactical route and matchup adjustments, preparation time and simplified officiating are game-design assumptions, not predictions of the original game.
